The inevitability of it all

Even the basic tea leaf reader could see it coming.

When fellow humans quit loaning the new world USA money, and we have to live within our means, then great change will come. The two national federal parties over the last century have failed us, and another party of Americans will probably arise to help sort out this mess.

After all, nobody wants to be cold and hungry, and all want to help their Families as best they can. And the USA is a pretty nifty place.

As I read the tea leaves, this is already going on, though many may not know it. That many will probably die is inevitable, but the time for talk and last minute change ended a couple of years ago. Hopefully, out of all this, will come resurgence in our new world USA, like this is a good place to be in during hard times.

But along the way the best intentioned people will have to live the consequences of their beliefs. And some will die.

Now I am not sure if even we in the new world USA will descend into totalitarianism, or in the end reinforce the idea of our Constitution. I sure hope it is the latter. I, myself, prefer to be a citizen than a serf.

Just what we Americans do to preserve the status quo I hope is more long term thinking than short term thinking, but I can't predict that right now. Most people don't like change, so preserving the status quo is a big deal.

There is every good reason to promote the progressive agenda. There is also every good reason to pay for it. These ideas often take time, and conflict, too.

And given the time idea, let's take the time to get it right. Drawing down the well of our prosperity implies eventually the well might go dry. Hopefully we don't get to that state, but the tea leaves I read suggest it may happen, probably around 2020.

There are other courses of action that will keep "this well" providing sustenance for us all. Yet there is little discussion of it that I read.

So why is it inevitable that we humans have to suffer first? That is crazy, but seems to be what happens, historically speaking.

And we elected these present political leaders, federal, state, and local. Go figure.
